Remembering - Wednesday, May 2 2007
it's been one year since that night.
i hopped on my bike after a swim at the pool, and rode through the falling darkness as the light faded. chased my shadow across the city from West to East, so i could see you. i played music by your bedside that night, for what would be the last time. i eventually ended up at home later, after a detour to find some solitude in the darkness. but even then, i couldn't sleep. not before i let it out.
a song for Grandma:
goodbye, we've said farewell
time flies, i know it all too well
goodbye, i know you've gone home
and i won't cry, because i know you're not alone
i close my eyes and see you once again
the Saviour's hand is resting, on your head
i understand,
i know it's not the end
it's just a little holiday,
until the day i see you once again...
your smile, in my heart i'll always treasure
these memories, they stay with me forever
you're resting now, in a place that knows no sorrow
your faith has healed you know,
that's how i face tomorrow
i thank you for the years you cared for me
and i rest in knowing that,
your spirit's free
i understand,
i know it's not the end
it's just a little holiday,
until the day i see you once again...
i know one day i'll see you once again
i understand
